( JOHN 9:1-41 )
INTRODUCTION:
1. Good morning, please open up your Bibles to ( John 9:1-41).
Today's lesson will be gleaned from this passage. Read the
passage.
2. When Jesus' performed miracles, we see Him at some of His most
compassionate moments.
3. Why did Jesus perform miracles? Jesus performed miracles for a
number of reasons:
a. To express His love.
b. To provide a springboard to teach spiritual truth.
c. To give evidence of His Messiahship.
4. In (John 9), we see that Jesus healed a blind man.
I.
1. In the very first verse, we see that Jesus encountered a man born
blind. This man had never seen a sunset, a rainbow, or the early
morning sun. He had never seen his mother's face or his own
reflection in a mirror.
2. This man did not suffer from blindness because of a particular sin
he had committed but his blindness was certainly the result of sin
in general.
3. The prevailing opinion in regard to sin today is that we shouldn't
get to disturbed about it. Some people say that sin is harmless.
However, we must realize that sin brings corruption, disease,
destruction and death into our world.
4. The next time you walk the hallways in a hospital or nursing home,
or even the next time you stand at a cemetery. . . instead of asking
"Why would God allow this?" we should ask ourselves: " After
seeing the devastating effect of sin on the lives of those around us, why
do we continue to play with sin? Why don't we get serious about
rooting sin from our life? Why are we so slow to take aggressive
action against sin?
5. From the miracle in (John 9), we see the devastating nature of sin.
II.
CONCLUSION:
1. In closing, we have learned several lessons from the healing of the
blind man.
a. First, this miracle reminds us of the devastating nature of sin.
b. Second, we see the all-surpassing power of the Savior.
c. Third, we see our stubborn resistance to God's work in our lives.
d. Lastly, we see the simple nature of personal witnessing.
2. I hope and pray that this lesson has been beneficial to you. If you
would like to respond to the Lord's invitation, please come now as
we stand and sing.
